The Oslo fjord. Waves. Wind. Sun.

On Friday evening I got a txt msg from my neighbor and friend, if I wanted to join her to the beach on Saturday and I answered her “I have a friend visiting me I have to ask her”. So I did when my couch surfer came back home. And we figure-out that Yes, we could do that but not to early. So we sat a time, 2 pm wasn’t to late and not to early on the Day.

Saturday the 15th of July.

We woke up before 10 am. I vacuum cleaned my apartment with my Robot-rob and my couch surfer went away to buy some oil to her Ape50 (3wheeled moped). We ate some lunch and packed and went for a walk down to the beach. A 25 minutes walk down hill from me to the beach. It was warm and with some wind. We walked by a cool garage with a chapel-clock on the roof and came to the white bridge over the E18 (Europe road 18) and there, the view over the sailing-boats and the glittering water. WOW! And the wind catching us in the face. Over the bridge and walking along on the sea side to get to the beach…

This view… I can’t get enough of it! It’s just so lovely!

I didn’t think of taking pictures here..I guess I’ve walked here so many times I didn’t need it but luckily my new friend Katja did.

Eventually did we reach the beach and find my friend and neighbor who went there few hours before us and we also went back around a corner to a spot where it was less people and it felt like it was more sun and less wind.

Katja and Olena, went into the water first.

I had to sit and rest my back after the walk so Katja and Olena went into the water first and I could enjoy the view of the beach, people and take some pictures. What a lovely day to e on the beach! This is Summer on the best. It was perfect weather, not to much wind, not to much people, not a bird as far as I saw. Blue sky with Cirrus Uncinus clouds – they appear as thin and fibrous like, except that they always have a hook or curl on the tip. Very cool clouds!

A Day to just relax and enjoy life. A day to be thankful over to have. And to be impressed of how beautiful God has created the nature, sea and everything we have around us. And how beautiful a small beach can be and how peaceful it can be to just sit there and enjoy the minutes that pastes into the future. I love to just sit and watch out over the sea, the waves, the clouds. To memorize it like a picture in my head so I can go back to that moment and pick it out and remembering it later again.

When the girls came back we all just lay down on our towels on the grass to enjoy the sun and they enjoyed the wind & sun to get dry, chat and shared food and homemade ice-tea. Took pictures of the moment and laughed of the pictures. Made moments to bring with us into the future, years ahead.

We tried to swim against the waves, we tried to float but no and we tried to stand still in the water with the help of the arms and legs in motion without reaching the bottom. We laughed so much it was hard to keep our heads over the waves and that became even more fun. We tried to talk to each other but the wind through away our words and that made it even more fun. All this in the water. Rough to do anything than swim well no swimming was also rough.      After 3 hours at the beach we felt it was time go go home. Katja wanted to walk back home, me and Olena took the bus. And the funny part was that I said to Olena, “I bet Katja is home before us even if she’s walking” and she was. 😉

 

Back home we grilled with more laughs and lost of good burned veggies.

BBQ grapes is tasty.

During our BBQ grilling I suddenly saw two ears in the grass. First I thought it was a cat or maybe a fox but it was a deer.

The phone-call about my future..

Yesterday I received a phone-call about my future. In my head I thought I would received a letter, but hey a phone-call is better and quicker.

I woke up of my phone vibrating in my bed, my consultant from NAV was calling because I send her a msg yesterday. …So today I’m sitting here in front of my lap top thinking about “who am I?” and “what is my qualities?” with my coffee on my left side of me in the mean time my cat Silver playing around with some paper. It’s not an interview it’s a small meeting with information about what they can offer and what kind of expectations I have.

Lets go back in time so I can explain what’s this is about.

SO I took a course in office and administration two years ago. A really good course I would say. I learned a lot new stuff I didn’t know and it went over 30 weeks and then it was a period of work-experience over 90 days or three months depending ho you want to express your self. I had three months of work-experience in the same building as I took the course, which for me wasn’t a problem. The problem was that I didn’t get a job there after the three months and I didn’t get the experience I needed to work in the field I wanted. I have had a year of applying to jobs with no luck because I don’t have what’s requested. But God has given me a new term of patience in my life and he let me be myself and enjoy life in a way I haven’t enjoyed it before.

So in December last year I had an appointment with my consultant at NAV about what this KVP (Qualifying Program) is and how to apply to it, what I needed from my doctor and if it was something else we needed to think of. I got the appointment with my doctor, got the paper to my consultant and the process was there.

In March I started a process to “pick up the phone” and ring all kinds of Hotel’s because that’s my dream. I want to work with booking and in the reception in a Hotel, I would fit perfect to work during the night. (For those who knows me, they would say yes, that’s where you belong. Because I am so much a night-owl.) Unlucky no Hotel’s could give me a spot. One of the reasons was they went all out on strike in April and during May. So when June came along I felt this is over and I texted my consultant and we started the process we are in now.

In the end of May we applied for me to get a spot in this Hotel, (PS: Hotel in Oslo) to have work-experience. And yesterday as I said before, I received the phone-call and will have a meeting tomorrow.

I am now looking forward to start asap even though I would like to have some-kind of Holiday before. Well I guess I’ll know after tomorrow when I can start and how soon I’ll have Holiday.
